these. 30,000 messages were collected within 1 mile radius of the finish line 24 hours before through a 24 hours after. they seemed out of place or coded including about to boston hotels or analyze further. the former navy seal and joint terrorism task force. >> unconventional warfare what you start to see more and more is the use of social media to communicate and spread messages. >> in his first public comment the attorney general offered few details. >> i will assure you the citizens of boston and americans we're working tirelessly to find who is responsible. >> while releasing images of the suspects asking for the public's health -- help administration officials testified that case remains wide open and. fox news. lou: authorities in texas at
7:06 pm
this moment are called in this conference with the latest details of that tragedy there in west texas that is the name of the town the community of 2500 people in dealing with the loss of as many as 45 lies. you're looking at texas attorney general now let's listen. >> beyond the playground is the apartment complex. if looks whom it like it was the bomb site but you would see in baghdad. it was utterly destroyed and beyond that then the homes began and imagine and from
7:07 pm
the time the explosion took place, and people sitting in their homes and instantaneously their lives are forever altered by the incredible blast that literally blows down the side of their house. these homes are literally blown apart and blown open. the devastation is immense. but i have got to tell you the of the thing that we clearly saw is a clear sign of hope. you can see hope in the eyes of the rescue workers and to have a chance to visit with those going piece by piece or inch by inch inspecting the work site and these rescue workers are so dedicated to what they're doing just like the first responders the ems and
7:08 pm
medical professionals hoping to deal with us -- with. >> that is attorney-general abbott speaking to the community that has been wrenched from its being a over the past 24 hours and as the attorney general says and with great effort they will recover but in a town or community of this size and i lived in one very similar and to the use this many people, the estimates are as high as 45, it will be a very difficult thing and it would be of any community of any size but it is very difficult. 160 people are the estimates of those injured and the damages from this explosion
7:09 pm
registering over 2.one as the magnitude of an earthquake when the explosion occurred felt as far away as 45 miles. we will bring you updates as developments warrant for and keep our focus on what is happening in boston and washington d.c. but the world is now searching for the two suspects of the boston terror attack more fallout from the of failed push for gun control senator corniche texas taking issue with the claim the demise of his agenda is what the president called a shameful day in washington. >> the president could have taken the high road now that we have been unsuccessful let's move on to where we
7:10 pm
know there is consensus doing with the mental health element with so many mass gun tragedy's but instead he chose to take the low road and i agree it was a shameful day. lou: joining us now is congressman betray goudy. a shameful day for washington and talking about the opponents of his legislative agenda on gun-control callinn them liars it the nra specifically. >> that is not the way leaders react. maybe professors but what a leader would do is take chuck grassley up on their offer to do something about
7:11 pm
mental health i counted during the obama administration there is less than 100 prosecutions for giving fire arms to people who are mentally defective. less than 100 since he became president. that is an area where there is broad consensus. how about enforcing the current background check clock? we ask the attorney general and this administration for the prosecution's veiling background checks since he became president i don't need a lecture from him and about gun violence i watched his 16 years if you want to stop people from killing other people then deal with the mental health component and keep weapons out of the people who have no business having them but today you cannot sell a gun to a prohibited per cent without a private sale of a gun show or ephedrine licensed firearms tell me how you do
7:12 pm
in forcing the tools we give you then we will consider giving you more. lou: as a citizen i get a little nervous when i hear this president talk about liars that the nra when that represents if those of us who are interested and preserving our rights and gun owners who want to exercise our rights and a president who calls such people liars when he has not taken one step to address the issues that led to the sandy hook tragedy it is the ultimate in my opinion this president has misrepresented the of legislative components of what was defeated yesterday. i would much rather see an deal with the mental health issues because of the last
7:13 pm
six tragedies that occurred was a gun and mass murder has been carried out by seriously mentally ill people and neither the psychiatric profession nor the politicians on the left who call for gun-control have taken one step to deal with those two issues. >> didn't want to talk about mental health for their failure to enforce or hollywood or the culture of violence perpetuating in this country. my heart grieves as a father for what happened in newtown. i would give up all of our rights and the bill of rights to give one of those children back -- bring one of those children back but to talk about background checks and assault weapons ban when it would not have
7:14 pm
stopped any of the mass killings, not one. stop them? keep weapons out of the hands of the people who were criminally and mentally ill. do something about that. lou: then talk to people and be a leader and talk about the framework for resolving certain issues the way background checks could be improved no question how about improving up prosecution as you suggest the ninth of those who break our gun laws? even the simplest laws are not being enforced by this administration or barely the previous administration either. let's turn to the of senate gang of eight and immigration reform what you make of the chances to become a law that is effective and rational and
7:15 pm
humane? >> it depends on what the process is if we could meet the characteristics of the last time we had this conversation in the process is every bit as important as the result. as denoted my colleagues have been working hard on both sides to produce a product in the house. i thought what the senate can now with was a constructive opening bid to use a british term but the reality is there are people in the house that want their say and to committees of jurisdiction and it is more important to me this we done correctly than quickly and not to be overtly political the senate is controlled by one political party in the house is controlled by another.
7:16 pm
so necessary we have different priorities and different areas of focus. lou: you want more than one hearing? [laughter] >> we will have more than one next week. lou: good. >> to be fair to the four republicans they are in the minority. and they are doing as good as they can do if the bill is bush toward enforcement and internal and border security the house will have to do something and we will start the process when they go back next week. lou: there is the opportunity for people to do the right thing it is the first time it will have occurred with illegal immigration in a decade but that possibility exists because of the senators that you mention and the house of
